Good evening!
It is a relaxing Sunday night for me after the very busy week I have had. I have been working hard at rehearsals for my next show and trying to memorize all 129 of my lines. My off book date is coming up fast and I really have been trying hard to look over my lines AT LEAST once a day. During rehearsals I have actually been pretty impressed with myself with how much I know. I really have been doing my best!
My academics have been going pretty great I think! I have some pretty great grades, my lowest being a B plus! I can't complain at all about that! I still want to try and make it an A like the rest of my grades, but there are still some things that my professor needs to put in that I think I did pretty well on! I also turned in my application to the education department on Friday, so I am very excited to hear back from them. I can't wait to get my education advisor and meet with them.
Also this week if I haven't been in class or rehearsal, I have been working in the scene shop for some community service hours to go towards my sorority. I have been working on paper macheting these super cool masks. I think they are going to turn out super cool for the theatre department to use! This weekend was really nice and relaxing because I got to visit with my boyfriend who goes to a different college than I do, and I haven't seen him in a month. I am happy that we got to spend some quality time together.
Have a great week!

Week 4: Open Bid, Show Week, and Classes
Hello! I hope everyone's week was as fantastic as mine.
This week I got an open bid from a sorority on my campus and I am so excited that they wanted me to be a part of their sisterhood! I got a cute pin to show that I am a new member that I have been wearing everyday until I get activated. It has been such a fun experience and everyone is so nice! I am very happy I am joining a club full of my friends and I can't wait to see what new friendships I get to make in this club. Hooray for Greek life!
This week was also opening week for the show Fortinbras. I was in crew for this show, so I was not on stage but I did plenty of work offstage. I worked on the sound board. So I got to mess with volume and playing the right sound effects at the right times. I also got to play some pretty sick scene change music and I just had a ton of fun with my other powerful tech crew ladies! The show went super great and the cast was awesome. So happy I got this experience!
This blog is not very much about math, but I will still talk about the classes I am in. It has been such an eventful week I pretty much just floated through my classes. But one thing that stuck out was the lab we did in computer science. We had to code this robot to jump over hurdles. I cannot explain it super well, but it was challenging and it made me think a lot. I also probably asked way too many questions, but I mean, whatever you have to do to succeed. It was just a super fun program and I was happy we got to work with it.
Have a great week!
Update: I can finally wear my letters!!

Week 3: The Usual
Good morning all!
This has been one heck of week, and I am very exhausted for some personal reasons. Classes have been more or less, the same this past week. We've been learning a ton in my diversity class that the idea of cultural education should be implemented into every class subject that is taught. It has been a lot of fun coming up with some ideas on how to teach culture in my future math class. On the note of my diversity class, I finished up my 10 hours of student tutoring this week and it makes me very sad, I really got to form a relationship with those kids and they made it so much fun! They were sad to see me go, maybe when the fourth graders are in high school I'll be there teacher! wouldn't that be funny? Our supervising teacher said that me and my friends that tutored there were one of the best groups they had ever had, just because of how much we interacted with the students. I really am going to miss it there.
In regards to my theatre major, rehearsals have been the same. We started blocking some scenes. Blocking for those who don't know means staging exactly what you are going to be doing in a scene. Blocking has been great, and I'm trying to learn my lines as fast as possible. The other show that's going on right now is Fortinbas. This show takes place right after Fortinbras comes in at the end of Hamlet and takes over Denmark. In this show I am on stage crew and those dress rehearsals are starting. I have been a very busy girl and this week really has been tiring! Wishing for a better next week!
Until next time :)

Week 2: Student Turtoring
Good morning!
I am super excited to talk about the second week of classes I had and the chain of events that has happened! Last week I started student tutoring at the Civic Center in Zanesville. I was super nervous on Monday, because it was my first time ever tutoring before. I was set up to help fourth through sixth graders with their math homework. I found helping them very fun, but I really learned a lot while I was helping them.
The way that the teach math is so different now. I had to help a little girl with long division, she was so smart! She learned long division in a completely different way than I was originally taught. This was challenging for me because she had to teach me how to division with her method before I could actually begin to help. The both of us ended up working super well together and that mad me feel so fulfilled. She told me that math wasn't her favorite subject but she liked doing math with me, and later that week she ended up calling me her new best friend. It made my heart completely melt!
I have also mentioned previously in my blog that along with my math education major, I also plan on a theatre major. I am currently in a production called Living Dead in Denmark. I play one of the female leads, the rather brutish Lady Macbeth. The best way to describe this show is "Zombie Hamlet" and my character gets to kill a lot of zombies. So this past week I have been learning how to do stage combat. The way of making it look like you're hurting someone, but being super safe about it in the process! Rehearsals have just been a ton of fun! I learned that I get a (fake) battle hammer! I am living in an action movie! It has been so much fun working with my fellow cast members to learn how to fight in a safe manner. I don't know about the stage combat part of theatre, but I definitely think the teamwork part of theatre will come in handy when I work in the classroom in the future.
Until next week!
